Little Hawk..That was very eloquent, in a way that articulates, that we both understand, though be it through much sadness, and disappointment. All the compromises, even the little tiny ones, slowly erode the moral fabric of the soul, and family, on to society. We have fallen so far!
I find that focusing on the command(not suggestion), that..'we do unto others, as we would have done unto ourselves'...and...'what you do unto the least of them, you do unto me'....IS the posture, that one must live within, to be free, in all, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical ways.......besides that,...it's way more fun!!!!
